Little things can (and will) make a big difference in your playing! Just like dominoes, something small can set off a chain reaction that eventually will lead to enormous results.
In this lesson, Lisa breaks down 3 small changes you can make to your playing that will take you to that next level. And the best part? They're easy to implement and we take you through each one of them in this step by step lesson.
First, we break down sus chords. By changing one note in a triad you can begin to change the soundscape you are creating. You can invoke new emotions, surprise your audience, and enhance your music. Second, we look at slash chords. By simply changing the root note we play beneath our triad we open up a whole world of new and beautiful sounds. Lastly, we look at inversions. Just changing how you choose to play your chords or where you choose to play them will lead to an almost endless variety of melodic results.
So if you want to sound better on the piano make sure to start incorporating all the little things that make a big difference in your playing!

Why do I find the mornings that I start with a Lisa Lesson just that much brighter? Merci beaucoup.

[@Ankita-pq4up]

Lisa is really the best piano teacher I've ever seen in my journey of 6 months of playing the piano. Thank you so much Lisa 💓 💗

Boy was this collection of tips posted at the perfect time for me. I'm working on an original composition and was finding it a bit lackluster. DOH! It so needed some SUS and slash chords. It totally brought it back to life.

so so glad to hear it! perfect timing is my favorite

Please do a video on Left hand patterns. Like I want 100 lh patterns that I can play with a tune in the right hand. It would be so helpful. You can also mention easy hard and virtuosic levels too!

[@lindahorton9488]

I also wish I could take in person lessons with you. I’m a senior lady who has always loved and dreamed of playing piano. I took almost 3 years of lessons from the ground up to about a beginning intermediate level. I’m thrilled to be able to at least read music again and work my way through some basic pop and classical pieces. Had to stop because of the pandemic. I’ve been saving all your videos from KZbin. Your teaching is so calming and clearly explained. I cannot thank you enough. I’m a widow and learn/play for my own joy and emotional support. You’re the best and most enjoyable I’ve found on KZbin. Please keep singing and teaching ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nialldoyle6328]

This lesson was a revelation. Im so glad I hauled myself off the couch to do it. Sooooo much going on. Lisa demystifies suss' and inversion chords, and plays around with slash chords in a 9 min lesson - all whilst introducing a neat chord progression (G, A maj, D maj, Bm). Best lesson I've had in months. I needed this! Thanks so much 😊

[@locommotionmusic]

Pre-liking. Because. Well you know. It's Lisa 😊

So many possibilities/variations from just one chord progression. 👏👏👏

[@MontSutton01]

Another great video. Learning piano musically. Easy concepts that make for great practice. I can spend hours just doing this and people will ask me what song I am playing. I will add if I may, to do this in different keys, but to stick to one key per session to really dive into it.

[@PianoteOfficial]

sounds like a really good routine to me :)

[@robertpien8708]

The sus cords give so much emotion to any song and slash cords helps create a new color to any cords . I also think inversions help create a journey to help develop different feelings in your music . This really helps open up so much thank you so much. love your Enthusiasm I see you really enjoy what you do .

I always do the G chord inverted. I find it more easy to do. The G is too far for nothing. I was wrong about the A chord. I didn't do the C sharp but the C note. Thanks for the refresh.

You are so amazing Lisa! I dont have a piano but i bought a keyboard. And i regret it bec I cant make the keys sound softer or louder.

[@suitandtie2251]

All is not lost....many keyboards have the ability to add or remove the "touch" function...check to see if yours has. Also consider purchasing a sustain pedal.

Waiting for new keyboard to arrive from Amazon. I want to learn chords, passing chords, inversions, riffs, fill-ins, scales, arpeggios, play background notes while worship leader is speaking. Channel is amazing but I don't want to learn to read music. So I'm not sure if paid Pianote course would be the right program for me

Guess I'm too new with the piano. I always play the tune with my right hand and the chords with my left hand. Now I see you playing all the chords with your right hand. How does this fit in with a song I'm playing? What's the purpose of playing those particular chords with the right hand. Just practice? That's OK, but...........

[@johnnewell552]

Great teacher, but in all her videos she goes from whispering at times to super high pitched and about 9db louder. For these ears and admittedly cruddy speakers on my iPad it is not listenable for me. It literally hurts my ears. Sadly, I just can’t listen to her anymore. Compression anyone? Walk across the hall and talk to the Drumeo sound folks!

[@mfurman]

I completely agree with you. Lisa’s videos became unlistenable to me, regardless of their merits.

so is there a song you can't play

hahaha i bet we could stump her pretty good

[@shotokan944]

Why do you always play chords with the right hand where practically every tune ever written has the right hand playing the melody?
